Fuel problem !

[tcar]

My diagnosis: yer outa gas.

There was plenty that spurted out when I pulled the fuel rails. Maybe I'll try draining the tank and putting new gas in it. I had just picked it up from the body shop so maybe something got put in there that shouldn't have.


My car won't start - well it starts and immediately dies. I have tried *almost* everything I've read on this forum. It comes down to a fuel problem. It has ~40 psi of pressure in the rail with the engine off and the fuel pump jumpered I tried starting it with the pump jumpered to make sure its not the DME relay - I have a spare relay and it didn't help. It will start and run with starting fluid sprayed down the intake. I bought a noid light and the thing blinks when the car is running on starting fluid... I pulled the injectors and they look good, they click when tested per the Bentley manual. They couldn't all have gone bad at once I don't think. That leaves the pressure regulator? The fuel pump is only a year old. The vacuum lines are good. Could it be something as simple as bad gas? The car was running great, I turned it off to open the garage door and then I couldn't drive it into the garage - I'm lucky it died in my driveway. I am running out of ideas fast. Has anyone else had a problem like this?
